Dragon Hunters · 54 quotes[Lian-Chu wakes up screaming, waking Gwizdo as well. Gwizdo peers down at him from the top bunk]
What's up with you now? You scared the pajamas off of me.
Lian-ChuThe dragon, Gwizdo. He spoke to me again.
I already told you, Lian-Chu, dragons don't talk. You were dreamin'.
[He lifts himself back up onto his bunk again]
Goodnight.
[as Gwizdo tries going back to sleep, Lian-Chu thinks for a moment about the Sizzler's words "A real reason to hunt me"]
Lian-ChuSay, Gwizdo, why exactly do we hunt dragons?
[Gwizdo peers back over again]
What a question. Cause we're dragon hunters, that's why. If we were dung beetle hunters, we'd hunt dung beetles.
[He gives Lian-Chu a huge grin]
It's that simple.
[He lifts himself up onto his bunk again]
Lian-ChuYes, but why are we dragon hunters?
[Once again Gwizdo peers back over the bed, annoyed]
Because it's all we know how to do. Well, you, at least.
Lian-ChuHmm.
Look, Lian-Chu, you gotta hunt dragons. They're mean and nasty! They destroy entire villages, devour everybody in sight. Their feet stink to high heaven and they've got big time BO. [Once more he pulls himself onto his bunk] And what's more, they always talk with their mouths full.
Lian-ChuGwizdo?
[Gwizdo once more peers over to talk to Lian-Chu]
Oh, what now?!
Lian-ChuYou just said dragons talk!
I said that? Never. Not in a million years.
[He pulls himself back up onto his bed]
I know what I say, don't I? Look, listen, Lian-Chu, knock off the dumb questions and have a glass of water. You'll feel much better in the morning.
